Great News!

Morgan loves her bottle

Got great news from our daughter this afternoon, Morgan has regained her birth weight and passed the car seat test. She finally got to come home nine days after her birth so needless to say we are all thrilled. It is great to see her off the NICU. No parent wants their baby to have to spend any time at all but we are lucky it was mostly because she was only sleeping, not eating and her weight dropped dramatically. I am happy to say she is now eating regularly and whole heartedly and is now gaining more weight each day.

She has not had a breathing episode for two days now so it looks like everything is good to go. New parents are (of course) worried and will probably have a few sleepless nights because of getting up to check on her throughout the night, but I don’t blame them at all, I would too.

Thank you all for your concern, good thoughts and prayers as I really appreciate it.

Our oldest granddaughter weighed 2 lbs when she was born and had to stay in the hospital for months. She was under 5 lbs when they let her come home. It took a few more months and then she was just fine and never looked back. Your granddaughter is so beautiful. Just holding her as much as possible will help her to grow. Something to do with her feeling like she is back inside the womb and feels safe. My daughter kept granddaughter in the “Burrito” wrap until she started growing too big, and fussing if put into it.

I’m way behind on my blog reading, so I haven’t been keeping up. First of all, congratulations!!! … and that’s great news that she’s gaining weight. I wish for great days ahead for little Morgan and her family!
